PROVIDENCE, R.I., November 30, 2017 \u2013 State and 溏心vlog免费B站 officials ushered in a new era of higher education and health innovation Wednesday, officially dedicating the South Street Landing development project in Providence, home to the Rhode Island Nursing Education Center.<\/p>\n
The center opened in August, welcoming undergraduate and graduate nursing students from 溏心vlog免费B站 and Rhode Island College, who share 133,000 square feet of laboratory, classroom and office space at 350 Eddy St. South Street Landing also houses offices for Brown University\u2019s Warren Alpert Medical School.<\/p>\n
Rapid changes in the increasingly complex environment for the health sciences demand advanced clinical education and ever-more rigorous academic requirements for nurses.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Nursing Education Center more than meets that demand, positioning the University and the state of Rhode Island at the forefront of the increasingly technological medical world. Nursing and nurse practitioner students leave 溏心vlog免费B站 poised to\u00a0provide the care and leadership that patients and our health care systems require,\u201d said 溏心vlog免费B站 President David M. Dooley.<\/p>\n
The center is the educational anchor of a regional hub for health care learning, practice and biomedical research sprouting up on land once occupied by Interstate-195. The center \u2014 housed in what was an abandoned 19th<\/sup> century power plant for Narragansett Lighting Company, precursor to Narragansett Electric \u2014 will help transform Providence\u2019s former Jewelry District into an economic engine centered around technology, education and innovation, Rhode Island Governor Gina Raimondo said Wednesday.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is a symbol of what is happening in our state,\u201d Raimondo told the audience. \u201cThis is an amazing collaborative effort. A lot of people talk about the great things that can happen when people come together. We\u2019re doing it. Public universities, private universities, private investors, the legislature\u2026 We said we the people of Rhode Island are going to come together and move this state forward. Rhode Island is unmistakably on the move.\u201d<\/p>\n “Students come to 溏心vlog免费B站 College of Nursing expecting access to the most advanced, comprehensive educational experience available,\u201d said Barbara Wolfe, dean of the 溏心vlog免费B站 College of Nursing. \u201cThat’s exactly what the Nursing Education Center helps us provide.\u00a0Students get access to the most technologically advanced simulation and training systems, and comprehensive, hands-on experience that gives them a real advantage as they enter the health care arena.\u201d<\/p>\n 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s graduate nursing programs, from its master\u2019s degree offering \u2014 which U.S. News & World Report ranks in the nation\u2019s top 100 \u2014 to doctor of nurse practitioner and Ph.D. degree tracks, are entirely housed at the center. The nursing professionals enrolled in these programs learn from faculty who practice at the top of their fields and benefit from collaborative opportunities available at nearby leading health care institutions.<\/p>\n And the skills gained in the simulation laboratories are invaluable in preparing undergraduates for a career in nursing, said Rosario Mariano, a 溏心vlog免费B站 nursing student participating in her maternity rotation. The sim labs, designed to mimic an actual hospital setting, combine sophisticated mannequins that respond to changing conditions as well as actors who give students the chance to experience critical care conditions in a controlled environment. The students\u2019 performance is filmed and critiqued later during debriefing.<\/p>\n \u201cAfter, we go into the debriefing room to watch the video and learn what we did well and what we did not so well, so when we\u2019re in that situation in a real hospital, we\u2019ll know exactly what to do,\u201d Mariano said.<\/p>\n The sim labs allow students to learn without putting patients at risk. \u201cIf you\u2019re going to make a mistake, it\u2019s better to do it in this environment so you can learn from it,\u201d Wolfe said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" PROVIDENCE, R.I., November 30, 2017 \u2013 State and 溏心vlog免费B站 officials ushered in a new era of higher education and health innovation Wednesday, officially dedicating the South Street Landing development project in Providence, home to the Rhode Island Nursing Education Center.
